satellite positions

paul Jul 21, 2003

yes, Guide shows extremely accurate satellite
positions, (of course it all depends somewhat
on the accuracy and freshness of elset) many
observers note sats' telescopic RA+Dec using Guide.
also handy for ID'ing "unknown" sats, if you know
your location in sky and time, just run a large TLE
data base like mccants or alldat in Guide time simulation.

***********************************
It is amazing to see how accurate Guide8 predicted the passage of the
ISS tonight over New York City. Time and position where right on. I
used the latest tle elements from Mike McCant's Satellite site.
